Mission Statement

G.N.E.'s mission in plan is to provide a glimpse of the world as Guru Nanak's sikhs see it, empowering, inspiring and awakening the common man on the way.

To be clear about it, When the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, physically left this earth, he instilled the 'Jot' (light) of Guru Nanak into the Guru Granth and the Guru Panth. The process that was used to create this force, this army, this nation itself is soo unique that, most people would have never performed or even thought of performing such a deed. Once Guru Sahib recieved 5 brave men, who were more than willing to give up their lives for the sake of their true master, he blessed them with Amrit. and THEN after he, himself created the Khalsa Nation, he himself, the creator of the nation, Begged on one bended knee, to be a part of this nation. So my people, what I'm trying to get at here is that, WE....You, me, your brother, your friends, your family, people you dont know, doesn't matter what they look like, or their habits., or background or whatever! ALL of US, are the living, breathing, Jot of Guru Nanak.

"Man Tu Jot Saroop Hay, Apnaa Mool Pachaan"
O my mind, you are Divine, realize your potential.

So by that, comes G.N.E.
If Guru Nanak was alive today, what would he see, he saw caste systems, and social classes, and injustice, and lose beings in his lifetime, and he made it his life to change and improve his lifestyle, and the lifestyles of people around him. So if he was physically alive today, what would he think about the injustices that are still infecting the planet, what would he think of AIDS, and plague, and Hurricane Katrina, and the discrimination and the segregation and the concentration camps, and the politics of the world, and just everything that sorrunds us today.
What would he see and speak about?

Thus, we have come to the realization that, it is up to us, not just the members of GNE, but the khalsa panth itself, as a whole, to describe, speak up against and change the world we live in....
recently Mastana quoted something intelligent and he said that " We as sikhs, we should be damn shamed of ourselves, if theres injustice going on out there in the world, and we're not doin shit about it.....this is OUR JOB, our duty to protect the rights of others and ourselves".

And we can do ALL of that because WE ARE Guru Nanak's Jot, and WE DO have that same light within us. We just have to rid ourselves of this bullshit that surrounds us and come to that realization.

"Kiv Sachiraa Hoee-yay, Kiv Kudaay Tutayy Paal,
Hukam Rajee Chalnaa, Nanak Likiyaa Naal"

How do i break this wall of trash that surrounds me?
Nanak says, Listen to and Obey the will of God
